Fraternities and sororities

incident. Deng suffered injuries during a fraternity ritual on a trip to the Poconos in Pennsylvania. Few of Deng’s fellow fraternity brothers will face charges including hindering apprehension, concealing or destroying evidence, hazing, and providing false information to law enforcement. Out of thirty-seven fraternity brothers involved in this case, only few face charges. No proof of one more involved than the other shows, and based on logic, all of the fraternity brothers should face the same…

presumed being in a sorority would be how the media portrayed it – crazy, dramatic, and dangerous. However, coming to Babson, I saw a different story. I observed a community of strong women supporting each other through encouragement and shared purposes.

When I ended my first semester, I decided that I would be rushing in the spring. Once I joined a sorority, I instantly…

The Theta Chi officer team held bi-weekly officer meetings to keep each other up to date on the progress of projects, activities, events, and goals. They also used this time to work on projects, help each other complete tasks, and discuss how to promote PTK throughout the chapter, college, and community. Additionally, a chapter meeting was held every week to keep members informed of the various events and projects going on. During every meeting, members were encouraged to join the project…

Introduction As the days closed in on the final deadline of Greek life enrollment here at Central, I found that the decision to join did not get any easier. I had heard so many fun stories from my mother and older friends already in college, that greek life was the way to go and it would give you so many fun activities to participate in. At the time all of my roommates were signed up to rush and it seemed like I was the only one who hadn 't joined yet. The amount of peer pressured I endured to…

I asked him how they keep up with their grades while doing this, because to me grades come first and if I did have any intentions of joining a fraternity I wanted to make sure I could keep up with my grades. This is what he said, “We make sure grades come first and are always helping one another if needed so.” This helped me to understand that fraternities…

Vice-Presidents are Alex Sierra and Ansley Tran. They provide services for the fraternity. Alex was inspired to become Service Vice-President. The Service Vice-Presidents work hard to plan services and take much criticism. I chose this position because I am interested in making a difference in a service. Service is one of the cardinal principles of the fraternity and is what the fraternity is defined by, as a service fraternity. The Service Vice-President I chose to interview is Alex Sierra. As…

A critical analysis of Rape culture: its Manifestation in Fraternities and similar Micro-level Environments in Universities Universities and Colleges are breeding grounds for Rape culture: this is the basis of Simone Chiang’s essay.
